1993 Harvest Late In Poplar Area
Harvest is probably at least 3 weeks behind a normal year. What was expected to be one of the largest harvests ever in our area is fast becoming a weather delayed harvest with yields expected to drop. The wet humid weather has slowed the ripening of the grain and caused diseases to take their toll.
Reports of yield on wheat and barley are not available at this time.
UM Receives $890,407 Federal Grant
The University of Montana has received a two-year, $890,407 U.S. Department of Energy grant for statewide collaborative efforts to analyze and development energy resources and to enhance energy-related science education on the state's Indian reservations.
Montana was one of four states�others were Kentucky, Louisana and Maine�selected to receive major 1993 grants from the DOE's Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research.
"The University of Montana is very pleased to be able to put together this program for the whole University System," UM Associate Provost for Research and Economic Development Ray Murray said, "and to be one of only four in the country makes us extremely proud of those involved In the project."
UM Adjunct Research Professor Jerry
Bromenshenk, Montana's EPSCOR program director, said the grant project will be directed from UM but Is a collaborative effort Involving the entire Montana University
System, tribal colleges, private Industry and government agencies.
Montana State University, Montana College of Mineral Science and Technology, and UM are the primary participants, he said, along with the atate Department of Natural Resources.
Coupled with matching funds from the Montana Science and Technology
Alliance and the University System, the grant will power $1.78 million worth of research and education aimed at developing and safe-guarding the state'a energy resources, said Bromenahenck, who also heada the Montana Organization for Research and Energy.
Montana's new EPSCOR project includes three major components:
outreach to Native American students and instru rtions in middle schools and tribal colleges; research to enhance the analysis and recovery of petroleum reservoirs,
including development of three-dimensional graphics programs to visualize those reservoirs; and research into varied Issues related to producing wind energy in Montana, from environmental Impact to the longevity of turbine bladea in severe climates.
The human-resource component calls for a atatewlde effort to work with key middle school and tribal college science educators to enhance energy-related science education.
"Part of our philosophy here Is that the tribes have management responsibilities for vast reserves of natural resources, and stewardship Issues are very important to them," Bromenahenck said. "We hope to work with them in
developing programs and opportunities that will be useful of their schools. Hopefully, we will eventually Impact all the schools on all the
reservations."
The project, geared to meet the schools' and Instructors' specific needs, will emphasize real-world experiences through field trips, visits by leading Montana scientists and a aummer science camp.
The new grant moves Montana in to the third phase of a continuing effort to enhance the state's development and stewardship of energy resources,
